Human Tra�icking: Crossing the Line – It’s Not Always What You Think by Heidi FransenHuman tra�icking comes in many forms and is not always easily identified. First responders, emergency nurses, and health-care providers have a unique opportunity and play a vital role in recognizing and intervening in behalf of victims. What do victims look like? What are some warning signs of tra�icking? Who are tra�ickers? This session will explore these questions and provide real examples of human tra�icking.
High Performance CPR – We’re All in This Together: Roles and Rehearsals by Mark Araki and Pocatello Fire Department/Bannock County AmbulanceHigh performance, “Pit Crew” style CPR with a goal of maintaining greater than 90% of the resuscitation time “on the chest”. With choreography and practice these times are very achievable, providing our patients the best chance of survival.
You CAN Stop the Bleed! by Greg Vickers, Jill Adams, and Marcy Lewis RNA person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. Thus, it is critically important to quickly stop blood loss. Those nearest to someone with a bleeding injury can make a life-saving di�erence, if they are adequately trained to provide first care.

BLS Cadaver Lab by Katrina Rhett2 sessions. Be sure to register for both the 2:00 and 3:00 time slots. SPACE LIMITED. Shuttle Transportation provided—meet at Bengal Theatre entrance.Gain a deeper and more comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology in a unique and exciting learning environment. You will review various body systems and relevant pathologies to EMS through discussion, and observation in the ISU biology gross anatomy lab.

Don’t Miss your “Cue”– Drugs of Abuse: Local Trends and Alerts by Nick EdwardsCase study of recent narcotics cases within the Bannock County Area to include discussion of the current drug trends with an emphasis on the Opioid Crisis. An update on the progress of the recently implemented High Intensity Drug Tra�icking Area (HIDTA) will also be discussed along with a Q & A session at the end.
Approach to Mental Patients – Don’t Judge My Story by the Chapter You Walk In On by Dr. Kathleen Erwin MDThe United States is in the middle of a well-documented mental health crisis. Nationwide, one in eight visits to the ED is related to a mental health or substance abuse issue, and here in Pocatello these visits have jumped 30% in the last year. Victims and patients presenting in a mental health crisis pose unique challenges. This session will focus on identifying persons in mental health crisis, management techniques and appropriate after-care.
Search and Rescue: Lights, Camera, Action! by Lance Taysom RNSearch and Rescue: A lively interactive table-top drill focusing on a hypothetical multi-incident Search and Rescue problem. Working in teams, participants of all certification and experience levels will solve operational and logistical problems while practicing within the Incident Command Structure.
4:00 pm – 4:45 pm [SESSION 3]
The Lead Actors: Knowing the Script to Keep the Director (Doc) Happy by Dr. Curtis Sandy MDCommunication of patient information is vital to ensure good patient care. Radio reports and patient hand-o�s are high risk situations in which a standardized approach to relaying information is critical. This session will discuss the key elements of a radio report and hospital hand-o� as well as highlighting pertinent information for specific chief complaints.
SEPSIS: The Villain Lurking in the Shadows by Dr. David Francis MDThe diagnosis and treatment of sepsis is challenging due to the complexity of sepsis and the often unclear symptoms of a�ected patients at presentation to the ED. Early EMS identification shortens antibiotic time. This session will explore how the appropriate diagnosis and interventions e�ect positive patient outcomes.
Rising Stars: Giving the Small Guy a Big Chance- Pediatric Respiratory by Dr. Brian Fulks MDPediatric patients are a small portion of EMS calls and typically not in the comfort range of pre-hospital providers. In this session we will discuss childhood respiratory emergencies—how to identify and appropriate interventions.
